Mixture of rock and acoustic music on the heels of my brother's passing away, hence the name and our two guitars side by side. He was a masterful musician, and went far too young, as is often the case.

Wondering about where the day goes, in the context of the bigf pictire of being an active participant in life rather than a passive observer

Lyrics

You free your mind, let it drift to places you recall
It?ll take you places you don?t wanna be at all
Starts the flood of names and faces that I used to know
But tried to put away and leave behind me long ago

If you choose to trust the hands of fate
You may wind up carrying the weight

A crease of gold in satin skies, a perfect afternoon
Then slowly fades and lets the starlight shepherd in the moon
I close my eyes and slip away into the arms of sleep
Not sure what I?m letting go and what I?ll choose to keep

If you choose to trust the hands of fate
You may wind up carrying the weight

Remember when I?d shrug it off, take it all in stride
You eat enough of pain you?re gonna pack it all inside

Come the dawn I?m welcomed by the promise of the day
But promises not kept just make you hide it all away
There?s times the best relief is when the day comes to an end
Put it down and never have to deal with it again

If you choose to trust the hands of fate
You may wind up carrying the weight

My brother passed away prematurely in 2004, and this is a memorial and testament to him, his musical inspiration to me [and many others], and regret that we hadn't done so much we'd spoken of doing together

Lyrics

There?s a hole in my world where you used to be
And it ain?t closin? anytime soon
The way you were gone was so suddenly
As the sun stole the night from the moon

As much as we hope for a final goodbye
There?s times maybe it?s just as well
But I?d like one more chance for one more for the road
Or to have one more story to tell

Now when I listen to music you played
It means even more
Doubt the ripples your spirit has made
Will ever reach shore

Rememberin? times you?d get on a roll
Doin? a bit while we laughed
Or sharin? a stage at Cogan?s or Tuck?s
Then toast our success with a draft

We both had a dream with a musical spin
We?d practice all night to prepare
Conning ourselves we were gonna be stars
Each moment so precious we shared

Now when I listen to songs that you played
It means even more
Doubt the ripples your spirit has made
Will ever reach shore

I still wanna talk, take a long walk
Wishin? for more time with you
The dream on that day, why?d you slip away
When we still had so much to do

So as sweet as the song of an angel may be
I?ll never see it as fair
I?ve cried and I?ve laughed but above all regret
That it?s so soon that you?re over there

Now when I listen to songs that you played
It means even more
Know the ripples your spirit has made
Won?t never reach shore

At last finding happiness with another, and looking at all the ways you've tried before unsuccessfully to get there

Lyrics

Thought I knew all the answers, told myself
I had a plan
Makes me feel like a fool when I now see
What I understand
Without even tryin, you changed what I though
I had known
I?ve got new horizons when you?re beside me
Amazed how the feelings have grown

Honey you were worth the wait
I?ll be around
Never too late for what we?ve found

Now I'm realizing? there?s so much for us yet to do
Whether it?s living the journey or simply enjoyin? the view
When I?m with you?yeah, you were worth the wait

At some point I settled
Stopped searching for life?s symphony
My heart's taken flight, it?s soaring and sailing, you woke something I?d lost in me

Honey you were worth the wait
I?ll be around
Never too late for what we?ve found

Now I'm realizing there?s so much for us yet to do
Whether it?s living the journey or simply enjoyin? the view
When I?m with you?yeah, you were worth the wait

You were worth the wait, yeah you were worth the wait
You were worth the wait, yeah you were worth the wait

Thinking of all that's been and could be, a celebration of finding someone that fills your needs, your voids, and makes you want to think to the future, where all is possible

Lyrics

I got a hunger, got a feeling about you
You knock me over, can?t believe what I see
My head?s spinning I don?t know what to do
But I?m likin? that you?re feeling it too
Tell me honey, bout what pulls you to me

Baby we can build a kingdom from ashes and dust
Can build a castle from wreckage and rust
There ain?t a limit to all of the things we can do
When I?m next to you

I can?t hide it, so impatient with waiting
Deep inside me, know what I wanna say
Where it?s goin?, I don?t harbor a doubt
Now you?re getting what I?m talkin? about
With you beside me, know that we?ll find a way
